Both male and female mithra tend to adorn themselves with tribal tattoos, generally upon the face. These tend to resemble warpaint or the markings of predatory cats. Males tend to be slightly taller than females and only marginally heavier.

Mithra tend to get along passably with other races, getting along surprisingly well with elves who can find few faults with them other than their lack of proficiency with magic and short (by elf standards) lifespans. Those of a serious disposition also get along wonderfully with dwarves and those of a lighter disposition get along well with the Tarutaru who they share the federation of Windurst with.

Mithra originate from an island nation to the south of the mainland and co-habitate the federation of windurst with the Tarutaru. Male mithra rarely tend to venture from their homelands, as the birth rate of males is vastly less than females (about a 1/20 ratio).
